In the early 50's Lanehead school was closed for some work to be done. I am pretty sure St Cuthberts Church Hall was used as the school whilst the work was carried out. It was near a recreation ground in an area behind the General Hospital. The "rec" had a name, but I cannot remember it.

The hospital has a bungalow type residence for the disabled, overlooking it, Rakeshead House.

I also had a postcard ( which I passed on to the church) showing a very enthusiastic preacher who came here in about 1900 and attracted such a large crowd , that they conducted what looked more like a political meeting, outside on the rec.

It is also home to the Reedley Allotments Society Show (Barden Lane Allotments) in late August and is worth a visit.
